Khan (26-2, 18 KO) and Garcia (23-0, 14 KO) have been rumored to be headed for a showdown since Khan’s May 19 fight with Lamont Peterson was scrapped, with only Erik Morales rumored as another possible opponent for Khan, which never seemed all that serious.

Garcia, who holds the WBC junior welterweight title, said he would only fight Khan if it were a unification bout. Khan and Golden Boy are trying to get the WBA and/or IBF to return the titles he lost to Peterson in December, a win now tainted by Peterson’s admission of taking testosterone pellets before the bout.

Mitchell (25-0-1, 19 KO) received a scare in his last fight on April 28, badly buzzed by light-hitting Chazz Witherspoon in the first round, but did coming raging back to stop the Philly fighter in the third round.
